Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains what information Open Parallels (this website) collects, why, and how it is handled. If you have any questions, please reach out via the Contact page.

Information we collect

Contact form

When you submit the contact form, we collect the name, email address, and message you provide. This information is used only to read and respond to your enquiry. It is not sold, rented, or shared with third parties for marketing.

Comments

If you leave a comment, we collect the data shown in the comment form, along with your IP address and browser user-agent string to help with spam detection. If you opt in, your name, email, and website may be stored in cookies for your convenience so you do not have to re-enter them; these cookies last for up to one year.

Cookies

This site uses cookies only for essential functionality, such as remembering comment details (if you opt in) and keeping logged-in administrators signed in. We do not use advertising cookies.

Embedded content and media

Articles may include embedded content (for example videos or images). Embedded content from other websites behaves as if you visited that other website, which may collect data about you according to their own policies.

Analytics

This site does not currently use third-party analytics or visitor-tracking services. If this changes, this policy will be updated accordingly.

How long we keep your data

Comments and their metadata are retained indefinitely so follow-up replies can be recognised and approved automatically. Contact form messages are kept only as long as needed to respond and for our records.

Your rights

You can request to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you, or ask us to erase it. This does not include data we are required to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes. To make a request, use the Contact page.

How your data is protected

The site is served entirely over HTTPS (encrypted), and we apply standard security measures to protect data in transit and at rest. Contact form messages are delivered by email to the site administrator.
